Nature’s Poem Suite with Blackberry Bliss

Stampin’ Up! is doing a big Color Revamp with the new Annual Catalog in June.  Some colors are leaving and we have some returning In Colors.  One of the big favorites is Blackberry Bliss.  This is a wonderful deep purple that is very rich and fun to work with.  It is one of the colors that coordinate with the Nature’s Poem designer paper which is part of the Nature’s Poem Suite that I presented at On Stage.  Today I am sharing a set of cards that I had on my display board that featured the Nature’s Poem designer paper along with the Rooted in Nature stamp set and the Nature’s Roots framelits.  All three cards stay with the same color combo — Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink (a new In Color).

Rooted in Nature stamp set, Blackberry Bliss, Petal Pink, On Stage, Thank You
This card has lots of leaves.  I stamped the leaf with Blackberry Bliss first and stamped it down both sides of the Whisper White layer.  I cleaned the stamp good and then used Petal Pink ink and stamped the leaf upside down the center.  To Thank You For All You Do is stamped with Blackberry Bliss and centered across the card front.

Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, Nature's Poem Designer Paper, Lace Doilies, Layered Leaves Embossing Folder, On Stage
For this card I used the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder adding some texture with the leaves designer paper.  I stamped You Are Wonderful with Blackberry Bliss ink and added some leaves that I stamped off for a lighter shade.  I added a Lace Doily behind the layers (these are retiring so get them before they are gone).  I took a 6 1/2″ piece of the Blackberry Bliss twine and separated the strands, then added them beside the designer paper layer for some more texture.

Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, Nature's Roots Framelits, Nature's Poem Designer Paper, Thinking of You
The final card in this group has two different designs from the Nature’s Poem Designer Paper.  I added a piece of the Blackberry Bliss Twine across the center.  The Thinking of You is stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits then layered on Petal Pink scalloped circle and Blackberry Bliss circle both cut using the Layering Circles Framelits.  The flower leaves were stamped with Petal Pink and cut out with the Nature’s Roots Framelits.

This suite of products is so versatile — great for masculine, feminine, birthdays, sympathy, all occasion.  It will be a must have for everyone.

Nature’s Poem Christmas Cards

The Rooted in Nature stamp set is very versatile and works well for birthday, sympathy, masculine and even Christmas cards.  Today I am sharing the Christmas card set that I made.  I used Gold Foil Sheets as an accent on each card.

Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Lots of Labels Framelits, Christmas
This card uses the Softly Falling Embossing Folder (which is continuing) and the Lots of Labels Framelits (which is retiring, so get it ordered if you don’t have it).

Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, Layering Ovals Framelits, Christmas
For this card I cut a template using the Layering Ovals Framelits and then sponged Tranquil Tide in the oval opening.  The stamped the tree twice inside the oval and then another tree on scrap Whisper White and cut it out with the coordinating Nature’s Roots Framelits.

It was fun making Christmas cards in April and this set works great to give that Christmas feel.

Nature’s Poem Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

For my Nature’s Poem presentation they wanted me to make a scrapbook.  I tried to decide what pictures I wanted to use to go with the suite.  I decided on my series of pictures from our trip to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary last summer on the Thailand Incentive Trip.  It was my favorite part of the trip by far and this series of pictures is my husband, Tony, and I feeding the elephants and “posing” for a picture with them.  I thought it was cool for about 15 seconds and then the elephant just wanted the banana I was holding and get throwing her trunk at me to get it.  I started out smiling and the final picture says it all.

This suite has so many great elements it is so fun to work with.  I can’t wait for all of you to be able to purchase it.

I made a fun little Hershey’s Nugget holder with the cardstock pack and the designer paper.
